Your students did such a great job at the Turner Creek Tree Frog Fun Run! Thank you for supporting our school these past few weeks. Even though the Fun Run is over, we are not finished yet.
It is time to focus on collections! Please have all of your pledge money turned in by Monday November 6, 2017.
Also, sponsors can pay online if they entered their email address on funrun.com. Thank you again for your support of our school! Have a wonderful rest of your week! Go Tree Frogs!

Book Fair Volunteers Needed
Every year our fabulous volunteers make the Book Fair possible. Volunteering for a few hours is fun and easy and all training is provided.
We would really appreciate your help with:
· Set-up
· Take-down
· Cashiering
· Helping Kids with Book Selections
· Organizing
We especially need help in the mornings (from 8:30 -9:30) and during our Family Night (Nov 9th). If you can only give an hour just let us know - all help is appreciated! You may sign up for a shift on our Sign-Up Genius site:
Room and Co-Room Parent Meeting
There will be a meeting for all the room and co-room parents in Room 501 on Thursday, November 9th at 5:30pm. It should be a fairly short meeting (around 30-40 minutes).
If you missed the October 27th meeting, then this is the best opportunity to get important information about upcoming events. It will also be a great chance for everyone to get acquainted. If you are unable to attend or have any questions, please contact:
Ginger Brezac, TCE Room Parent Liaison

Art By Me
Hello Turner Creek Families!
By now you should have received the Art By Me postcards of your child’s artwork with the attached order form. You may order additional items with your child’s artwork on it; these items make great gifts and will arrive to the school for distribution prior to the holidays!
Please make sure to have any orders you plan to send in to the school with payment back by this coming Monday, November 6, 2017 (unless you are track 3).
All items can be ordered online before and after the due date, but please allow plenty of time for them to arrive. The monies raised by Art By Me go directly to our amazing Art Program here at Turner Creek Elementary.
New Buddy Benches at K-2 & 3-5 Playgrounds
These benches are part of an Eagle Scout project by former TCE student Daniel Hanley. Daniel worked with TCE’s PTA, who wanted to have places for students to sit when they weren’t up for playing on the equipment. The benches are painted in colors of the rainbow so that they can be an inviting place to rest.
Daniel led a team of several volunteers on the project to build and paint the benches and also added some landscaping around the benches to improve the screening between the classrooms and the playgrounds.
Daniel is the son of Turner Creeks Instructional Technology Facilitator Mrs. Wanda Hanley.
Box Tops and Tyson A+ Labels
Help Us Raise Money for TCE!
The next Box Tops submission date is March 1st. Please make sure they have valid dates (dated 3/1/2018 and beyond). The Box Tops collection bin is located in the TCE lobby across from the main office.
Clipping Box Tops is an easy way for you to help our school buy what it needs. Box Tops are each worth 10¢ and they quickly add up to real cash for our school. Here is a link showing participating Box Tops products.
Clip Tyson Project A+ labels from participating Tyson® product packages and send them to school with your child. We’ll collect the labels and send them to Tyson Foods, and Tyson Foods will send our school a check. Each label is worth 24¢!
Please drop your Tyson Project A+ labels in the Box Tops collection bin in the TCE lobby. Here is a link for a list of participating products.
